Kirishima Jingu Lantern Festival (June Lantern Festival)
Enjoy a mystical atmosphere
The shrine is dedicated to Ninigino Mikoto, the main character of the founding myth, and boasts a long history dating back to the 6th century. Various lanterns of all sizes are lit by donations from the community, wishing for the dispelling of epidemics and the safety of homes. Each year, after the religious ceremony, a performance contest and a fun lottery event are held on a special stage in the precincts.
